## Abstract Binding constants and binding site sizes for the interactions of the polyamines spermine (+4), spermidine (+3), and putrecine (+2) with helical DNA have been determined as a function of ionic conditions and temperature by equilibrium dialysis using ^14^Cβlabeled polyamines. In addition,

β¦ Synopsis
The technique of equilibrium dialysis has been used to study water and salt binding to egg albumin, to human carbon monoxide hemoglobin, and to bovine serum albumin. The salts used were CsC1, KC1, NaCl, LiC1, Gu.HC1, NaBr, Cs2SO4, KzS04, Na2S04, Li2SO4, and Gu2S04. The amount of water bound by proteins depends on the probe being used. Sulfates tend to bind to proteins and they also increase the water binding. A t saturation, about 41 and 140 mol GwHC1 bind to 1 mol egg albumin and to 1 mol carbon monoxide hemoglobin, respectively. Both proteins are dehydrated by GwHCl.
The hydrodynamic hydration of egg albumin as determined by viscosity appears to increase as the relative viscosity of the medium increases. 14. Chothia, C. (1975) Nature 254,304-308. 2nd ed.

In recent years there has been great interest in using hexammine cobalt(II1) as an isovalent analogue of spermidine. Hexammine cobalt(II1) qualitatively mimics spermidine in many of its physical effects on nucleic acids. Quantitatively, however, there are often large differences in the effects of th
